Problem: Adding pattern to ":oldfiles" is not a generic solution.
Solution: Add the ":filter /pat/ cmd" command modifier. Only works for some
commands right now.

Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.
Closes#6159
ex_loadview() was changed in 9b1c939370 to check the file open result.
If user doesn't care about failure to open, using :silent! instead of
:silent is a reasonable, conventional approach.
Closes#3196
Calling cmd.exe in Windows follows a very different pattern from Vim.
The primary difference is that Vim does a nested call to cmd.exe, e.g.
the following call in Vim
system('echo a 2>&1')
spawns the following processes
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\vimrun" -s C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC169.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2>&1
>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2>&1)
The escaping with ^ is needed because cmd.exe calls itself and needs to
preserve the special metacharacters for the last call. However in nvim
no nested call is made, system('') spawns a single cmd.exe process.
Setting shellxescape to "" disables escaping with ^.
The previous default for shellxquote=( wrapped any command in
parenthesis, in Vim this is more meaningful due to the use of tempfiles
to store the output and redirection (also see &shellquote). There is
a slight benefit in having the default be empty because some expressions
that run in console will not run within parens e.g. due to unbalanced
double quotes
system('echo "a b')
Disable CommandLineToArgvW-standard quoting for cmd.exe.
libuv assumes spawned processes follow the convention expected by
CommandLineToArgvW(). But cmd.exe is non-conformant, so for cmd.exe:
- With system([]), the caller has full control (and responsibility) to
quote arguments correctly.
- With system(''), shell* options are used.
libuv quoting is disabled if argv[0] is:
- cmd.exe
- cmd
- $COMSPEC resolving to a path with filename cmd.exe
Closes#6329
References #6387
Adds os_strerror() result to a number of places. Also since I could not track
where err\* variables are NULL and where they are not, using macros to make sure
that all three variables are set at once.
Removes #ifdef UNIX around the use of os_fsync, makes it use os_close in place
of close in some places.
For now only supports valid hex colors (does not check for the validity
the hex color) when termguicolors is set, otherwise it won't attempt to
change the cursor color.
Make the 'scrollback' option work like most other buffer-local options:
- `:set scrollback=x` sets the global and local value
- `:setglobal scrollback=x` sets only the global default
- new terminal buffers inherit the global
Normal buffers are still always -1, and :setlocal there is an error.
Closes#6337
Problem: It is not possible to use plugins in an "after" directory to tune
the behavior of a package.
Solution: First load plugins from non-after directories, then packages and
finally plugins in after directories.
Reset 'loadplugins' before executing --cmd arguments.

- Vim "unix default" of 'noshowcmd' is serving few users. And it's
inconsistent.
- 'ruler' and 'belloff=all' improve the out-of-the-box experience.
- Continue to use 'noshowcmd' and 'noruler' by default in the functional
tests to keep them fast.
TODO: Add a "disable slow stuff" command or mapping to address the
use-case of a very slow terminal connection.
Do this on all systems, so that portable builds work everywhere. This
allows us to ship archives with this folder structure:
bin/nvim
share/nvim/runtime
then ./bin/nvim works without the user needing to explicitly set VIMRUNTIME.
It's important that users have a single, easy-to-remember place for
reading about the API. So this commit changes gen_api_vimdoc.py so that
the generated section is appended to api.txt instead of creating
a separate document.
Also remove the section numbering and ToC: it's a maintenance cost, and
it will be unnecessary when #5169 is integrated.
Let the terminal dictate the normal-mode cursor position. This will be
disorienting sometimes, but it is closer to what users expect vs always
going to the last line.
Problem: Man test fails when run with the GUI.
Solution: Adjust for different behavior of GUI. Add assert_inrange().
61c04493b0
Only changes related to assert_inrange() were included, since we have a
distinct man plugin.
Problem: Values for true and false can be confusing.
Solution: Update the documentation. Add a test. Make v:true evaluate to
TRUE for a non-zero-arg.

The "technically correct" interpretation is to execute the first line
that is seen (and this is what happens on middle-click paste in Vim).
^M is only intended to "defuse" the newline, so the user can review it.
The parent commit changed the behavior to insert <Space> between lines,
but that's a higher-risk change: it is arguably possible that some user
*wants* the literal ^M chars when e.g. assigning to a register:
:let @a='<C-R>b'
To avoid that risk, keep the old behavior and only omit the last ^M.
This makes `yy:<C-R>0` nicer at no cost.
^M isn't any more "correct" than space: the "technically correct"
interpretation is to execute the first line that is seen (and this is
what happens on middle-click paste in Vim). ^M is only intended to
defuse the newline, so that the user can review the command. We can do
that with a space instead, and then the command can be executed without
having to fix it up first.
Problem: Using function() with a name will find another function when it is
redefined.
Solution: Add funcref(). Refer to lambda using a partial. Fix several

This allows executables to be found by :!, system(), and executable() if
they live next to ("sibling" to) nvim.exe. This is what gvim on Windows
does, and also matches the behavior of Win32 SearchPath().

This default causes too much confusion for terminal users. Until
a better approach is implemented, revert to the traditional default.
Better solution would be:
- Implement a right-click menu for TUI
- Set 'mouse=a' *only* if clipboard is working.

- Eliminate global test_autochdir.
- Eliminate VimL function test_autochdir()
- Use a lua test instead. Fails correctly after reverting

This ameliorates use-cases like:
:!cat foo.txt
:make
where the user is interested in the last few lines of output.
Try these shell-based ex-commands before/after this commit:
:grep -r '' *
:make
:!yes
:!grep -r '' *
:!git grep ''
:!cat foo
:!echo foo
:!while true; do date; done
:!for i in `seq 1 20000`; do echo XXXXXXXXXX $i; done
In all cases the last few lines of the command should always be shown,
regardless of where throttling was triggered.
Periodically skip :! spam. This is a "cheat" that works for all UIs and greatly
improves responsiveness when :! spams MB or GB of output:
:!yes
:!while true; do date; done
:!git grep ''
:grep -r '' *
After ~10KB of data is seen from a single :! invocation, output will be skipped
for ~1s and three dots "..." will pulse in the bottom-left. Thereafter the
behavior alternates at every:
* 10KB received
* ~1s throttled
This also avoids out-of-memory which could happen with large :! outputs.
Note: This commit does not change the behavior of execute(':!foo').
execute(':!foo') returns the string ':!foo^M', it captures *only* Vim
messages, *not* shell command output. Vim behaves the same way.
Use system('foo') for capturing shell command output.
Closes#1234

This option simplifies the configuration options:
1) `g:python{,3}_host_prog` is not set.
Neovim tries its best to find a suitable interpreter. This means calling
exepath(), potentially multiple times, and a system('python -c ...') with
the first found interpreter, to get the Python version.
2) `g:python{,3}_host_prog` is set.
Avoids everything of the above. No safety checks, no training wheels. Fast
host startup time!
Contains the exit value nvim will use.
Before exiting, it is v:null. That way jobs or autocmds (in VimLeavePre or
VimLeave) can check if Neovim is about to quit and with what exit value.
Closes#4666.
Problem: It is not possible to only see part of the message history. It is
not possible to clear messages.
Solution: Add a count to ":messages" and a clear argument. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto)

In order to not conflict with new error codes that Vim adds, all Neovim
error codes should be above 5000. The three existing sub-5000 error
codes (E926, E951, and E952) are now E50003, E5004, and E5005
respectively.
E953 was removed in 6167ce6df2, so just
remove it from the help.
Problem: Crash when an autocommand changes a quickfix list. (Dominique)
